Achieving gender equality and eliminating all forms of discrimination are at the heart of a HRBA. In achieving gender equality, gender mainstreaming is one of the key strategies of UN-supported analysis and strategic planning. For a rights-based approach to be meaningful, the UNCT will partner with women’s groups and with advocates who can speak to all stakeholders about the different ways females and males experience, and can influence, the development agenda. Gender mainstreaming is one of the key principles of UN-supported analysis and strategic planning. Providing support for gender equality and eliminating discrimination against women is an important part of the human rights based approach. The UN should help ensure that priorities in the national development framework reflect the country’s commitments to achieving gender equality within the internationally agreed development goals. The UN has a key role to play as a convener of women’s groups and gender equality advocates who can flag gender concerns and influence the development agenda. A gender equality resource guide has been prepared to help UN theme groups mainstream gender equality concerns and advocacy for the rights of women and girls into country analysis, the national development framework, and the UNDAF. |

UNCT Performance Indicators for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment by: UNDG
13 August 2008
This set of gender performance indicators will help UNCTs assess their performance on gender. The assessment can feed into review of the programme in order to enhance performance, or can f.i. be used as input to the development of a new UNDAF. The tools were developed by the UNDG Task Team on Gender Equality in response to the endorsement by the UNDG Principals (at their July 2006 session) to roll out a set of performance indicators on gender equality for UNCTs. The indicators are to assess support from the UNCT, not the action of individual agencies.
